Like the shot of London Eye with County Hall in the Background. Stopped there a few weeks back. Awesome Star Wars exhibition on there at the moment.

[mole2k]

I never got a chance to go to the Star Wars exhibition but somebody wearing a storm trooper outfit did walk past me while I was there.

I love that shot of the bullet and the rose!

I dont do photography as a living although it is something I would very much like to do at some point, I have sold a few pictures for various uses and won some photocomps. I've only been really 'into' photography for about a 18 months or so when I purchased my dSLR.

Some quality stuff on here, great variety too. Only been taking an interest in photography since November so it'd be a shame to ruin the thread with my toss, but hey... t'internet's rife with that kind of behaviour!

Some awesome shots here, most of these are things we see every day but do not appreciate.



I like Linzie;) :D

[mole2k]

Nothing wrong with those shots P_B :) The second one is fantastic!

[VintageRacer]

One of my efforts.

Erm, of course :rolleyes:

[P_B]

The second one is fantastic!

Cheers, mole. That was a lucky one earlier this week, just weighing up the unusual curb/cobbles when that young fella plonked himself down and started reading.

Looking at your selection you seem to have a deft touch when it comes to PP, something I'm a complete buffoon with :( Any pointers (books/sites etc) or is it all hands-on learning?

[VintageRacer]

Something less dangerous to my health

[mole2k]

Cheers, mole. That was a lucky one earlier this week, just weighing up the unusual curb/cobbles when that young fella plonked himself down and started reading.

Looking at your selection you seem to have a deft touch when it comes to PP, something I'm a complete buffoon with :( Any pointers (books/sites etc) or is it all hands-on learning?

Most of my PP techniques I basically learnt from just playing around in photoshop a lot. I read alot of the articles on sites like www.luminous-landscape.com too things like how to create contrast masks local contrast enhancement and things like that. I also shoot in nothing but RAW and have done for about the last year.

My usual workflow would be the following:
Import RAW file into Photoshop,
Crop, set white balance, knock exposure down to -0.5 or -1, bump shadow contrast and brightness up to expose the image correctly and import into photoshop as a 16bit image.

A touch of Unsharp mask (usually 10-20%, 60px radius, 0 threshold)
Any colour correction I feel is needed with Hue/Saturation/Lightness (or convert to B&W using Calculations/Chanel Mixer)

Smart Sharpen full sized image (usually 150-300%, 0.3px radius, 0 threshold)
Save 16bit TIFF.

resize down to 800x533

Smart Sharpen to make up for the loss in sharpness from the resize (usually 100%, 0.3, 0)
convert to 8bit, convert to sRGB save as jpeg qual 8~9


Sorry if its a bit sprawling but I dont have a set work flow and some images go through a lot more processing depending on the subject, The London Eye shot had some perspective correction work to stop the building and the Eye look like its 'leaning back' (converging verticles)

[jonmiller]

some nice shots there guys, keep em coming!

[P_B]

Wow, comprehensive, cheers mole! Appreciate the effort you spent on that post. Have been reading around and basically doing lots of trial and error adjustments until it looks okay, learning as I go. Then again, on my dodgy monitor what looks fine here could look poo elsewhere :eh?: Will give some of your tips a whirl, including the local contrast enhancement step.

Few more to keep the thread moving:

[AndyM]

i recently went to a VSCC [vintage sports car club] meeting at Oulton Park and took a few pics. they r nothing special, but i was quite pleased with them because they were my first racing pics.

Again, there's some really cracking stuff going up on here. Who'd have thought we all do more than play with toy cars ;)

@Telboy - you don't have to go far to take some pictures, it's how you look at the things around you.

Whilst in Monaco and Nice it's a bit easier:

[mole2k]

I strangely cannot see the 2nd page, it just times out for me?

[Halcalanky]

timing out for me too :/

[mole2k]

It opens fine for me in IE (boo hiss etc) must be some issue with the amount of images in a single page.

[mattym0310]

it opens for me in both firefox and IE

This thread ROCKS!!!

Awesome to see so many great photographys :)

Great work again Mole, you've got those twilight landscape shots down to a tee. Punisher, you've got some great atmosphere in those racing shots and Liam, I've jealous because I missed Bug Jam again this year :(

Here are some I did for a friend this week in return for him welding my old VW - the speedster is genuine, rare and valuable, so it's funny to watch his face when yet another person at the petrol station compliments his 'nice replica' :D

Woah woah woah, crossed wires here? Not quite there yet (unless you know something I don't!) but hopefully it's in the pipeline. Ta for the comments though.

Like the sailing stuff, very genteel. Keep meaning to go watch the beginners' windsurfing class near me for some potential comedy shots.

[mole2k]

Nice sailing shots!

I was supposed to get out and either photograph or crew in the yeoman class at my local club today but it ended up being too windy so we didnt get to do either, its a pitty because the high winds and fairly good sunlight would of produced some fantastic shots :(

Here's a yoeman shot I took at a regatta last year.

Thanks Mole2K,
I used to be involved in all forms of motor sport, but recently, it seems to be almost exclusively MotoX nowadays. Mostly as it leaves little time for anything else :rolleyes:

Another shot of the golf, still not sure on this technique. I think a 85 f1.2 would work better for it but I dont have the 1.6k to buy one :P.

http://www.mole2k.co.uk/rand/Golf_dof2_big.jpg

[Halcalanky]

what technique is it? :P

[mole2k]

I basically take lots of photos and stitch them together in a panoramic, to give me the viewpoint of about a 10mm f1.8 lens. Most of the pictures are made up from 100-150 individual photos.

Neat, what software do you use?

[mole2k]

Autopano pro, It seems to be the best for doing that type of shot its not that slow either. I have tried other programs but they struggled with very large panos.

[P_B]

Woah, took my eye off this thread for a little while and loads more cool stuff appears! Great work everyone.

Here's a few from my latest go with the camera...

Ta mate, that cabrio shoot (and subsequent beers) was a Friday evening well spent.

This one of yours I really like :)

Pete, did you pile them stones up or were they just like that?
It's a very nice pile.

[P_B]

Pete, did you pile them stones up or were they just like that?
It's a very nice pile.

There already, I suspect the remains of a rather poor bmx ramp. I guess the quality of my piles will have to remain unknown for now :eh?:

[mole2k]

I like that funfair shot, its just a pitty that the board is clipping the frame.

What conversion method did you use for your black and white?

[P_B]

Yeah, shame about that board. It was a tad blustery and I wasn't using a tripod so always a risk, should have had a more thorough look at the LCD. Just happy to have an acceptably sharp shot and not be blown into Morecambe Bay, really!

As for b+w, I've tried loads of methods but always struggled to get the result I want. For now I'm experimenting with the Virtual Photographer (http://www.optikvervelabs.com/) plugin. Mostly it's a bit gimmicky, though the b+w seems quite good once you tweak the default settings.

[mole2k]

I generally use calculations or channel mixer for my b&w's.

Thanks mole2k,
A car rig was used in that 2nd shot..........a very long pole.;):cool:

What are the specs on that Monte Carlo?

It looks fookin awesome!

It's a street leagal 84 Monte Carlo SS with a 427ci small block.
Runs high 9s in the 1/4mile with spray (nitrous) with full interior.

[mole2k]

Got any details on your rig :) ?

I've been looking to build one of those for myself for car photography for a while now.

Hope you like, not really a patch on mole2k's pics though

[mole2k]

Some good shots there josh, looks like you had some awesome golden light. We had rain and wind for Rally Ireland!

[mattym0310]

yeh, also some great pics there! did ya get any of ian jemisons boxter? shame i cudnt get there :(

[josh_smaxx]

Lol, the light did improve, first pics werent that light but the close ones (like the No1 car) i was getting around 1/1200s shutter which surprised me.

edit: i got one or two of the boxter but they were crap, my dad got a good one, will link it when he gets them up ;)

[mole2k]

I was using iso1600 1/125th for most of the day.

[josh_smaxx]

I got ISO200 :D and never above F4, mainly F3-F3.6

[mole2k]

The lighting was shocking, its amongst the worst i've ever photographed a rally in. One thing that i've noticed the rally photographers whose work with the wrc i usually admire have all taken crap shots at rally ireland.

[josh_smaxx]

My idea is to fill the memory card (or take a laptop and fill it a few times) and you will always get a few good pictures :D

[mole2k]

I generally take very few photos at events. I think i've filled my mem card twice in total.

[josh_smaxx]

http://www.flickr.com/photos/21060031@N08/2043893392/ there is a pic of that Boxter, looked quick.

I took very few pictures compared to what i normally take yesterday, i think me and my friend got over 1000 pictures at the TEESSIDE ACES this year.

[Caryphotography]

Hello everyone. I'm new to the Oople forums and I thought I would introduce myself. My name is John Cary and at one point I was a photo student and decided to go a different route. Though in the mean time I do shot quite a bit of R/C Stuff along with night photography as well. Recently I did some work for R/C Car Action in the form of shooting both studio and action for some up coming reviews in the magazine. The two cars are the new Team Associated B44 and the Kyosho Lazer SP. Let me know what you think and I will be posting stuff as often as I can.

Thanks,
John

[tamiya_df03]

Caryphotography.....

Wow dude those pictures are awesome, what kind of camera are you using? The colours are so rich and well balanced too! Do you photoshop them much or are they mostly all just good camera work?

Your pics dont look over-saturated like a lot of "photographers". (a.k.a people that take average pics and photoshop the shit out of them later!)

Awesome job, they look great, very professional looking!

[jimmy]

nice photos cary, like the night strobed stuff lots! :)


DF03, I think I take the most over saturated photos ever - but that's what I like. It's a camera setup thing rather than photoshop. Check out the photos from the Worlds I took with my D200, awesomely saturated! :)
If you look around the net, you'll see a lot of grey images from the event - not mine. Not to everyones taste maybe but I do it to appeal to myself and hopefully some others will like it also. :)

http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/worldchampionships-2007/day4/bigimages/OOP_7853.jpg

[mole2k]

Some great shots there john, I like the night stuff they are nice and unusual.

Im quite the opposite to jimmy my camera's setup to undersaturate to give even more dull pictures with higher contrast, but that again is my preference. Some people prefer high saturation some people prefer low. With my rally shots I often have a little bit more saturation than my usual shots as it helps the cars stand out a bit more but my most peoples standards they are still undersaturated.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2025/2167144289_f2840a92f4.jpg?v=0

[jimmy]

likewise I don't like too much contrast in my photos, mainly because it doesn't tend to go well with the bright colours & things can get a little too intense.

You can see my preference for bright warm colours all over this site, even the orangey-yellow borders on the forum.

[mole2k]

Yeah If i did this forum skin it probably would be muted colours with high contrast :P

High saturation and high contrast can be messy, low saturation and low contrast can be very grey and dull looking i find.

[jimmy]

If we joined forces we'd be able to produce really normal and boring images! :D

[mole2k]

Haha :p

Those look quite good turbo_brick, the first I would of shot with the composition showing more of the bridge in the background. to get a bit of a more balanced composition, a bit of light on the front of the car would of been nice too. A quick and dirty way of doing this is get a torch and during the exposure shine it over the darker area's of the car to try and paint them brighter.

Thanks for the comments guys. I try an use photoshop as little as possible. I had teachers at photo school that drilled it into me that photos should be shot correctly the 1st time rather then using photoshop as your main source of operation.
The Flash shots were done with my studio lights and a Nikon SB-26 as a slave as a back ground filler.
I'm a big fan of color in images but Mole2k, those rally shots just above are awesome. I really like that undersaturated color look with high contrast.
the weapons in my arsenal are:
Digital
- Canon 20D
Film
-Canon EOS 1VHS
Lenses
70-200mm 2.8L
50mm 1.8
20-35mm 2.8-3.6

Yeah I personally much prefer that last shot :)

The car is nicely balanced by the bridge in the background halo'ing it, I personally would prefer a lower angle but a lot of people prefer to see more of the car like in your shot. Great shot though :)

The best bit is it's one of mine and i didn't have to buy it just talked my mam into it.

I get to drive it while she works away in iraq for 10 months of the year. Only downside is the fuel bills, when i was out taking the pictures I used £20 worth of optimax in the grand sum of 45 miles.

Lots more quality stuff has been posted here since I last looked, this thread has provided lots of inspiration over the months.

My photographic life has only been marginally more active than my (nonexistent) racing life the last few months, but here are some of my better images of late:

Wow. I thought I had it bad... I get only get 19miles per gallon on premium (probably the same as "optimax"?), but I don't have to pay ridiculously high gas prices... If my math is correct that's only around £4.5 for me to go 45 miles. You get to go a lot faster than me, though, and I'd gladly pay the extra money to go that fast :D

I need to get to more rallies this year and try and get my dad to let me use his camera.

Thanks! The light actually picked up a little bit for few minutes to let me get some nice colours, it wasnt in an overly idea position but it worked :D

[Sabben]

Wow, great pics there Mole2k!:thumbsup: I really liked them:D

How do you manage to get so sharp pics but still got that look that makes the cars go fast? If you know what I mean:rolleyes:

[mole2k]

Its quite easy once you get used to it, you basically pan along with the car. Just start to track the car and follow it then hit the shutter button while still tracking the car. Then with the right shutter speed the background will look motion blurred but the car is sharp.

[Chris Green]

There's a big rally on at the Forest of Dean this weekend, called the Wyedean.

[mole2k]

Mole - is there a name for that effect? Where centre of the image is sharper than the periferal. I know how to get it (pan shots close up) but I don't know why it comes out like that?

http://www.northernracer.com/RAC 080.jpg

I've never heard of any specific name for it but basically it happens because you are panning so close the angle of the car changes a lot over the length of the shutter duration the only bit that changes the least is the bit that you are tracking as its in the center. It can be used to great effect, if you want to stop it and get the whole car sharp you basically have to use a higher shutter speed or else change so the car will remain at a more constant angle to you during the exposure.

please help

wanna upgrade to some think i can take shots of at eden park raceway,my 9mb isnt up to it,this looks capable,someone plaese advise

is the shutter speed and frame rate ok?

[jimmy]

uhmm, shutter speed and frame rate don't really matter, the shutter lag is apparently good on that camera - which is important.
Not sure how noise-free the images are - but the focusing won't be blisteringly fast, but that's what pre-focusing is for :)

[martboy21]

is it worth it,its got to be than my fujifilm a800? basically from your experience is it capable (if i try)to take similar photos to yours?:) thankyou

[Stu]

You will be able to get very good results with that, especially on a nice sunny day. With care they will be 90% as good as anyting you can get no matter how much you spend.

Good photos are not about the hardware, they are about how you use it.

[mole2k]

The cheaper camera's often work fine when used with the middle territorys and you dont require rapid AF.

With good light, pre-focusing on spots and a bit of practice you should be able to take very good shots with that camera. Expensive digital slr's dont particularily take better pictures they just make the process of taking photos easier, untill you get to the extremes of the scale, low light performance, needing fast AF, etc.

[martboy21]

cheers for the feedback,really appreciate it, so shall i go for that or is there any thing else.

what about this?looks a bit cheap? any suggestions?

no, that camera is certainly crap. I used a Fuji before I got a DSLR and it was good - but the fuji you listed is a world better. like has been said don't expect too much indoors - we all hate taking photos indoors. ;)

I assume they were taken with a compact camera, if so they they are not too bad at all.

Fuji?

If you get a Fuji S9500 and spend some time setting it up properly you'll get much better stuff - ;)

[telboy]

Marty, I started last year with a Fuji s9600. It was ok outdoors, but indoors you just could even get near a decent set-up. You just had to use the best set-up you could get and just hope you got some nice pics out of it.

These were taken with the Fuji -http://www.telsshells.com/ne_regionals_-_durham.htm

Like I say it was ok outside.

I had it for about 4 month and then got a Canon 400D...much, much better, especially indoors. I just need to get a zoom lens for it now....cheap.

The good thing with the fuji was the movie capture mode. That was quite impressive for a stills camera. I did this with the movie mode http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gFqPAZ0yhMo

[martboy21]

completely forgot a
bout me posting in this thread!

after a long thought i realised im no photographer but i do want take better pics

i also cant afford 400 quid or let alone 200 at the mo so went for this

i got it 150 deliverd

[josh_smaxx]

Id love a DSLR, i have the fuji S6500 and do alot of indoor racing photography and feel that i could benifit from a 400D or what ever (cough*5D*cough) but i cant eve afford that for christmas or birthdays even if i didnt need certain racing gear more.

Marty: first thing you want for that is a 58mm UV filter to protect the lense, only about £12 and it'll protect the fixed lense from scratches, piece of mind.

All those last shots are HDR to some degree, A fair few of the rallys shots have been hdr'd too. I would use it very subtly on quite a lot of shots of mine as a way of generally boosting the contrast. I quite often put the original colours back on a hdr that i've done but keep the contrast changes, or if im feeling like some ultra colours I use 'soft light' instead of 'colour' on the layers.

Are all those lines on the moon tyre tracks from the Lunar Rover? Oh hang on, that would mean someone actually went to the moon which is just silly. I mean, there is no KFC there so why would anyone want to go! Was the Lunar (MG) Rover brushless :)?

[telboy]

Man, those moon shots are ace!

I got some similar to the first pic at the last lunar eclipse, but, like you say it was cloudy this time.

I must get a nice zoom.

What tele converter do you use?
Do you use a tripod for the moon shots? or just free hand.

[mole2k]

I use a Kenko something or other, it basically is optically the same as the kenko pro verson but doesnt report itself to the body so the camera wont shutdown autofocus af f8.

I usually would use a tripod although that last moon shot was my 300mm f4L with the 2x teleconverter resting on the windowsill.

Thanks, it's an area called Kuredu, you basically head out of Sheffield on the A61, and keep going for about 5000 miles :D

I decided I really needed to getup and actually do something today, since the sun was out i decided to take some pictures down by the lake.

Wicked shots mate, the Swan is nailed perfectly!

Cheers!

Hi Mole2k.
When you are out and about taking photo's of these wonderful rally cars could you get some of Alastair Fischer in the Irish Fiesta sporting trophy please. My Brother co-drives for him in the british series of the fiesta's.
Cheers Mark
